Overview
The ES8510-XTE provides in-band and out-band configuration methods:
•
Out-band management means that you configure the ES8510-XTE using the RS-232 console cable and the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the ES8510-XTE without attaching an admin PC to the network.
You can use out-band management if you lose the network connection to the ES8510-XTE.
•
In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES8510-XTE IP address through the
network. You can remotely connect with the ES8510-XTE embedded Java applet web user interface or a
Telnet console and the CLI.
If you are planning on using in-band management, you need to program the ES8510-XTE IP address to meet
your network requirements. The easiest way to configure the IP address is using a Windows system and
PortVision DX, which is discussed in
Configuring the Network Settings
